Mbappe had an incredible campaign for Monaco, scoring 26 goals in 44 appearances, and the 18-year-old’s performances in the Champions League put a number of Europe’s top clubs on red alert ahead of the summer transfer window.

It’s understood the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid will all be vying for Mbappe signature in the coming months but Liverpool remain in the race for the France forward.

L’Equipe suggest Reds boss Klopp has been in contact with Mbappe’s representatives since last month with a view to landing the youngster ahead of the 2017/18 season.

‘We will bring in players, yes, of course; the squad will change in a few positions, yes, of course; we will still have young players in the squad, yes.

‘I said it already, with the problems we had in January and February, of course it was clear. The injury of Phil [Philippe Coutinho] in November, Sadio [Mane] not [available due to Africa Cup of Nations] in January, Danny Ings not in for a long time, Daniel Sturridge not at 100 per cent and then out.

‘Should we have, for this, another striker, another winger? Yes, it felt like this in these moments, but it gave a few young boys an opportunity to show themselves and that’s good.’
